"Think about death, think about horror, whatever... and just go in and sing."
I love it!!!


If you know the album, or at least this track, there's a man at the start saying "I am not frightened of dying, any time will do, I don't mind. Why should I be frightened of dying, there's no reason for it".

The story is (as told in this documentary) that the band went through the studio (Abbey Road Studio) and simply asked random people what they think of death, dying and such. They recorded the answers and mixed them into several songs in the album.

So the direction they gave Clare Torry with this song was quite on-track with their general concept

What's your first memory of rock & roll? (Rocknroll Talk Post)

I'd have to say the Beatles were my biggest rock influence as well.
As a kid, anytime I was over my cousin's house in Vermont, my Uncle would put Abbey Road or Let It Be (sometimes one of Lennon's solo albums) into the tape deck, dump the huge bucket of Legos we had onto the floor, and we'd go to town building gigantic, moving cities on wheels with docking ramps/landing pads for all sorts of transport/attack vehicles and any other amenity you might expect a futuristic moving city to have. We'd sit there quietly (except for the occasional squabble over a choice Lego piece, usually some transparent cockpit covering or neon booster)for hours on end. Then we'd tear it the fuck down and start all over the next time.

...we were 17 at the time.
